“It is the responsibility
of students to find out from the appropriate department what level of language
they should register for and to obtain permission from the department chair if
there is any doubt. Students may not receive credit for taking courses below
the level of their competency as determined by the instructor or by the
placement examination.
If the instructor finds that a student is already
competent at the level of instruction, this will be reported to the department
chair, who will notify the Registrar to cancel credit for the course.” Queens
College 2016-17 Bulletin, pp. 41-42
